Herbal syrups are a fun introduction into making your own herbal apothecary. They are one of the more tasty and easy ways of consuming and preserving herbs. They are safe for children and adults and much more palatable. They can benefit a variety of ailments from colds and coughs to seasonal allergies. 

The base for every syrup is a good quality infusion or decoction. Then you add a sweetener of your choice which makes it deliciously sweet and also preserves the herbs throughout the cold winter months.
